The Risks of Involuntary (Passive) Smoking
Mainstream smoke = smoke inhaled & then exhaled by smoker Sidestream smoke= smoke from the burning product Secondhand smoke= mixture of Mainstream smoke and Sidestream smoke. (Enviromental Tobacco Smoke) Smoke can either be mainstream or sidestream. Both are considered passive smoke. All three forms of tobacco smoke lead to involuntary smoking and present health problems for both nonsmokers and smokers. Mainstream only makes up 15% of our exposure to involuntary smoking since the chemical compounds are retained by the smokers. Sidestream smoke is responsible for 85% of our involuntary smoke exposure. Because it’s not filtered by the tobacco, filter on the cigarette, or the smoker’s lungs, this form of smoke is more dangerous and contains more free nicotine and higher yields of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Sidestream smoke contains times more quantity of highly carcinogenic materials than mainstream smoke. Partners of smokers are 3 x’s higher risk for Heart Disease and 30% higher risk for lung cancer
